Bike Repair Stand Recommendations (lemmy.sdf.org)

Does anyone have a recommendation for home gamer bike repair stands? I’d like to find an inexpensive one that stows away easily or otherwise doesnt take too much space. Since I only need it maybe once or twice a year I can do without the hard core bike shop level of durability. For my needs it just needs to hold the bike off the floor so I can do derailer adjustments.

Stands give good ergonomics and access which is good if you're working in a bike shop all day. For twice a year, it may not be necessary.

That's not really a good answer to your question though. I can say the best stands I've used were very heavy and had a wide base. Not much worse than tipping a customer's expensive bike in the stand
